I wanted a as slim as possible case and I wanted it to protect all the way around the perimeter of the phone. Here are the choices (in order from first to last), help me decide.
Rearth Ringke Slim - At $28 it's a bit expensive and it doesn't cover the sides. Also looks to be less grippy since it's hard smooth plastic.
BoxWave Blackout - I'm worried it's thicker than a case like the Rearth, but with that said it protects all around and is really cheap at $12. I think the material is more rubber like which sounds more appealing to a gloss hard case. Not many reviews anywhere for this case.
elago G4elago G4 - I'm not sure about this case in general.
Thanks for your input.
Personally I like the Leather style flip cases, The one that doubles up as a wallet.

I would never pay more than £10 (delivered) for a case.
in terms of slimness i've basically narrowed it down to two giants.
1. sgp ultra thin
2. casemate barely there.
not sure which ones better but from what i can tell they're pretty much the same, both at a hefty 25 bucks.
anyways, i'm in the same boat as you. XD
not sure which case to get.

I have the rearth and it is very slim, the only down side it is a beeeoootch to take off (i have a dock/charger for the phone) and if you take it on and off a lot it cracks and the part closet to the usb port cover, nothing earth shattering it actually makes it much easier to take the case off - that and the sgp ultra clear and it is almost like having nothing on the phone at all.
I have used diztronic cases for the last year (for my SII and now my N7000). They are very similar to the boxweave case you posted.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...0386413&sr=8-3&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+note
As you know TPU protects like a silicon case but doesn't stick in your pocket or collect lint and dust due to it not being "sticky" feeling. I recently sold my SII for over $300 after 8 months of daily use because my SII was in perfect condition as a result of being in a diztronic tpu case. No, I never dropped the phone on cement or anything but I dropped my SII on the carpet from 5+ feet and the phone was unchanged when I picked it up. Didn't pop out of case or battery, etc. Because the tpu cases have a 1/8 or so "lip" on the front they also allow the phone to be placed face down on flat surfaces. IMHO and experience, a good tpu case is all you need to fully protect your phone unless you work in construction or somehow expect to drop it on cement.
So, my vote goes to the boxweave or diztronic cases. BTW I got 2 diztronics for $14 from amazon, the black matte and smoke matte. Great deal!
^I'm actually thinking of getting a real cheap TPU case like that I can mod. My ideal case is a TPU Bumper, maybe the Boxwave Black out without the back part but have the vol and power buttons cut out. I guess it's just not feasible so far... ?
Anyway, Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming.
bumper TPU from Amazon

first post here,
I have one of these.
search amazon for bumper cases.
I'm not allowed to post urls.
I like it, I have it on right now. What I have is different from what's
in the pictures. No cutouts for the buttons and the other cutouts are not
as big. The covers of the buttons are pretty sensitive, unlike the covers
for the Boxwave type which I got from Hongkong for 2 bucks.
Check amazon out, they have a lot of cases.
I also have the elago Breathe case, I love them I have two.
I ended up taking my chances on this. I guess it's going to be as close as I get. Thanks everyone, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

I have the 3 of them
Go for the Rearth Ringke Slim , is THE BEST OF ALL !!!
Hi all, I'm in a similar dilemma.
I've got a choice between these two:
https://www.gearzap.com/media/catalog/product/3/4/34484-2.jpg
and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYBRID-SI...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416682f7b6
I know I should pick the Zenus, but would the inside bit that holds my phone scratch the outer bezel? And since the hybrid one has a silicon case THEN a hard outer shell I figured it would be good too. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I use a an SGP Ultra thin. Comfortable case. Considering the size of the phone the case is great. Merges with the Phone. +1 anytime.
I ordered this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160732471512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. It has a stand that works in both axis.
good
Nice
Hi,
Does anyone know if the Proporta Alu-Leather vertical pouch will fit the S3 with a TPU case?
If not does anyone know of pouch (vertical or horizontal but without a belt clip) that is available in the UK and will fit the S3 with a TPU case on?
Not looking for cloth or neoprene type socks, I want something that will offer good protection to the screen when it's in my pocket.
The only only that I can think of is the Capdase Luxe but I'm not keen on that due to the window.
I will be carrying the phone in my jacket or trouser pocket so the belt clip is really a no no unless it is removeable or unobtrusive.
Many thanks
Martin
Update - well my TPU case turned up today, haven't got my S3 but the TPU case fits just fine in the Krussell Donsö case I had for my HTC Sensation (apart from the length - sticks out by 10mm or so) so here's hoping it will still fit when I get the S3 in it.
Back in October 2012 I bought a Speck Candyshell for my wife's GS3 (sold by "spdeals" and shipped by Amazon. I got free 2 day prime shipping too). I should have known something was up when it cost $15, versus $35 on Speck's website. Last week the rubber started to peel off, so I did some research online for a possible warranty claim. Turns out the Speck is a fake. I saw this youtube video and my Speck case met all the fake requirements.
So I got a Belkin Max Grip and I love it. Keep in mind I want the following in a case: 1 piece, hard plastic, covers all 4 corners/edges, and slim. If that's what you're looking for, then i strongly recommend the Belkin. The grey areas are silicone/rubber and provide great grip. The grey outline on the back of the case is slightly raised for better grip. Strangely Belkin doesn't have on their website, but Amazon carries it (where I bought it for $9.94). It must be discontinued.

Nice looking case.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
here's a photo of the fake Candyshell. the rubber is soft and eventually tears over time. I have a real Candyshell on my Galaxy Note 2, which has tougher rubber.
Will be travelling to very remote sites in Africa in a couple of months and I will need some protection for the One.
I have the Pelosi, which I think is a fake and it adds 0.1% of protection if you know what I mean.
My wife still has the UAG for the S3, which used to belong to me, which has done a more than perfect job over the last 2 years. Phone and cover still look brand new despite having to be in harsh conditions.
So basically I am looking for a rubberish TPU type that protects corners in a fall.
there is no real case for the one.. the best you can get is some tpu case , i have the TUDIA case and its fine..
but its not Otterbox
the new TUDIA looks promising
TUDIA Slim-Fit CYGEN Dual Layer Protective Case for OnePlus One
The best I've found is the new tudia case ! I have it and love it !
I have the Cruzerlite Bugroid and I assure you that covers perfectly the phone.
I have the Diztronic tpu case and the Rearth Ringke Fusion case. Both cases are great but the Ringke Fusion provides more protection. I would highly recommend buying it.
ive got the tudia cygen dual layer.. the inner rubber part fits perfect, and the hardshell fits about 95% perfect. It bows a little at the bottom where it wraps so the corners dont wrap quite as snug on the bottom as it does on the top. Other than that, this is my favorite case so far. Ive got10 or so cases for my OPO and this one by far has stayed on the phone the longest.
Hello everyone,
Just sharing some pictures of a case that I got from eBay. It's advertised as a shockproof hybrid case with a kickstand. Fits the phone very well. If you are using a full coverage screen protector, it is very likely that it will not fit. I got this case in red. It comes in other colors as well.
